High HIV prevalence in a southern semi-rural area of Mozambique: a community-based survey

HIV Medicine, 05/01/2012Gonzalez R et al.

The high HIV prevalence found in this region suggests that the epidemic is in a mature stable phase. The lower rates in the ANC than in the community suggest that ANC evaluations may underestimate community HIV prevalence. Resources to monitor HIV infection dynamics are needed to guide targeted control strategies in countries in which the epidemic exacts the greatest toll.
